Chapter 135: An Extremely Evil Skill

Xie Xiaoxiao's gaze was incomparably firm.

Clearly, she would absolutely not abandon Ye Lin to escape alone.

Seeing this, Ye Lin looked at the mountain of corpses in the distance, then looked at Xie Xiaoxiao, and sighed faintly.

"But if you take me with you, it is impossible for both of us to escape, unless... forget it!"

Ye Lin shook his head violently, as if trying to shake some terrifying thought out of his mind.

"Unless what?" Xie Xiaoxiao hurriedly pressed him.

"Sorry, forgive me for not being able to tell you. Although this skill could let us both survive, I once swore a poisonous oath before my father to let this evil skill be buried in the ground with my death; otherwise, may I be pierced by ten thousand arrows!"

A look of pain appeared on Ye Lin's face, as if he were recalling some extremely unforgettable past.

"Ye Mushuang! You are wrong!"

Xie Xiaoxiao said immediately.

"Skills have no distinction between evil and justice; they are like fire, which can be used to make delicious food, or can turn into a beast that devours human lives."

"Whether that skill is evil depends on your heart! If your heart is righteous, then the skill is righteous!"

Xie Xiaoxiao's words caused Ye Lin to tremble all over; a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes, as if he were undergoing a battle between heaven and man.

Ye Lin took a deep breath, and his expression slowly became firm.

"Xiaoxiao, you are right; I was obsessed!"

"Skills have no distinction between justice and evil!"

Xie Xiaoxiao nodded slowly and continued.

"Exactly! Just like my Star Puppet Threads; do you know who their previous owner was?"

"Who?" Ye Lin asked curiously.

"Baili Ce!" Mentioning this name, Xie Xiaoxiao's expression also became very solemn.

"Baili Ce?" Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed abruptly. "That Human Butcher?"

"Correct!" Xie Xiaoxiao nodded.

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Human Butcher Baili Ce—ten years ago, this name was enough to stop children from crying at night.

He was a heartless, perverted serial killer who killed entirely based on his whims.

In a fit of rage, he would slaughter thousands of people, which is how he earned the title of Human Butcher.

Precisely because of this, Baili Ce was besieged by many of the Great Xia's top class-changers.

The outcome of that battle was unknown; it was only known that many top class-changers died in that battle to besiege Baili Ce.

And Baili Ce himself had completely vanished without a trace since that battle.

"When the Star Puppet Threads were in Baili Ce's hands, they were weapons for slaughtering the innocent, but in my hands, they became sharp tools for fighting the demons. Objects themselves have no right or wrong, no good or evil," Xie Xiaoxiao persuaded earnestly.

"I understand. I was just worried... that you would be afraid of me after knowing about this skill," Ye Lin said with a bitter smile.

"It's fine, I'm not afraid," Xie Xiaoxiao said very seriously.

"It's like this: I actually have an ancestral skill that can heal my own injuries by devouring corpses. If my injuries can recover, it will obviously be much easier for the two of us to break through together."

Ye Lin pursed his lips, appearing unable to bear it, and then continued.

"But if I devour the corpses of demons, I naturally wouldn't have the slightest hesitation. The problem is, what I would be devouring are the corpses of my own kin... I truly cannot bear to see them left without a complete body!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaoxiao could not help but be stunned. She had not expected the skill Ye Lin mentioned to be like this; it was no wonder Ye Lin said this skill was evil!

For a moment, Xie Xiaoxiao was also somewhat hesitant; after all, devouring corpses, no matter how one looked at it, did not seem like a proper act.

Seeing this, Ye Lin could not help but sigh.

"I understand. This skill... truly goes against human ethics. Let it be buried in the ground with me!"

"No!"

Xie Xiaoxiao hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.

"Ye Mushuang, don't think like that! Those people's corpses would definitely become rations for the demons in the end!"

"Rather than that, if you devour their corpses and, after recovering your injuries, can kill all the demons to avenge them, wouldn't that be a good thing for them?"

"This..."

Ye Lin was somewhat hesitant.

"Don't 'this' or 'that' anymore, it's decided! I will go and attract the attention of those demons in a moment; to buy time, you take the opportunity to devour that mountain of corpses over there!"

Xie Xiaoxiao's gaze became firm; she was never one to be indecisive.

"Fine! At the very least, I cannot let you die here with me!" A flash of determination also crossed Ye Lin's eyes.

Afterward, the two split up to take action. Xie Xiaoxiao took Ye Lin off her back, and considering that Ye Lin was severely injured and unable to move, Xie Xiaoxiao left a Star Puppet Thread wrapped around him.

Immediately following, Xie Xiaoxiao took the initiative to charge toward the dozen or so demons alone.

As soon as she moved, the demons guarding the exit immediately noticed.

"A human wants to break out!"

"Stop her!"

"Hehe, just one person, she is simply courting death!"

The dozen or so demons grinned and surrounded Xie Xiaoxiao, intending to kill her.

Xie Xiaoxiao's gaze was cold. She was not in a hurry to act, but waited quietly until the dozen or so demons had surrounded her completely, and only then did she suddenly activate the Star Puppet Threads in her hands!

In an instant, countless Star Puppet Threads as thin as silkworms shot out from her hands, strangling toward the surrounding demons!

At the same time, taking advantage of the demons being caught off guard, Xie Xiaoxiao quietly pulled another Star Puppet Thread.

Ye Lin, who had been placed to the side by Xie Xiaoxiao, flew toward the mountain of corpses.

Because the attention of the dozen or so demons was focused on Xie Xiaoxiao at that moment, and they were busy dodging the sharp and terrifying Star Puppet Threads, no one noticed Xie Xiaoxiao's small maneuver.

Ye Lin plunged right into the mountain of corpses. Since the place was covered in the corpses of class-changers, the addition of one more Ye Lin would not attract anyone's attention.

Falling into the mountain of corpses, Ye Lin looked at the mountain-like pile of bodies before him, and his eyes lit up like two large light bulbs.

"Damn, this is going to feel great!"

Ye Lin raised his hand, activated the Dark Balance within his body, and launched Endless Devour without hesitation!

In normal times, unless there was a large-scale slaughter, where would Ye Lin have the chance to encounter so many corpses of class-changers?

For a moment, Ye Lin was even somewhat grateful to these demons.

Since the people were killed by the demons anyway, he felt no guilt in devouring them.

After devouring these people, then killing the demons to avenge them, and then devouring the demons as well—wouldn't that be wonderful?
